Reply #32: Three suggestions to give us back democracy. [View All]

[howaboutme]

1. Accountability - hold politicians and all officials who have taken an oath to a much higher standard of ethical behavior than the general public. We must demand that our officials never again make inside back room deals to take impeachment off the table before the facts are on the table.

2. Honest voting - Throw away the black boxes and instead use purple ink and paper ballots and make sure voters are eligible to vote. Accuracy and an audit trail is more important than is speed in picking a winner.

3. Remove Money - We need to remove the money and go to a system of totally public funded elections that with a caveat that candidates can use as many volunteers as they can muster to spread their message but no money. We need to eliminate advantages by the ultra rich.

The MSM will work against the people. They are all for speedy election results and lots of eyeballs on election night, and more money in political advertising, so they will attempt to keep the status quo, which is likely how we got in this position.
